Watermelon and sunflowers can also be found in the gardens. They also have traditionally relied on harvesting nature’s natural bounty—picking blueberries, cranberries, strawberries, and hunting for wild game—to keep themselves, as well as the earth, healthy.

Corn, Beans and Squash are three of the main traditional crops for the Wampanoag. The farmers planted the three crops together, rather than just plant one crop in one field the way that European farmers did.

The Wampanoags religion was called Spiritualism. They thanked Mother Earth, animals, plants, birds, fish, and all living things for the gifts they gave to the Wampanoag. For example, when a hunter killed a deer, they thanked the deer for giving the Wampanoag food to eat and skin for making
clothes.
